So in my past two shaves I've had the best shave of my life, and the worst shave that I've had since switching to a DE.
First, The Good: Saturday I did a 4 pass shave with my new Fatboy and my first shave with a Voskhod that Maher kindly sent with the Fatboy. This was the best shave I've ever had, my first BBS everywhere but on the neck where I wasn't quite daring enough to go ATG.
Second, The Bad: Today I tried the same Fatboy with a Lord Super Stainless. I only made it through 2 passes as I had 4 nicks from my WTG, XTG.
The Rusty: I switched out the Voskhod after only 1 shave because it was turning the razor rusty. It all came off with a toothbrush, but after only 2 days it was pretty ugly. I think I did my alcohol rinse, but perhaps not. The Voskhod says that it is Teflon coated, could this be something to do with that and not rust? Is it a carbon steel blade?
